Urine trouble

A Swede and his accomplice spent several hours locked inside the vault of Copenhagen Bank while they emptied 140 safety deposit boxes. The Swede had to urinate in a plastic bag while in the vault.

When leaving, the pair came across a guard and threw the bag of urine at him as a distraction. Although the bad guys got away, the urine gave investigators DNA evidence that was used to convict the Swede.
